Slap me with a fish. I'm dying here. Once again Richard Bangs nailed one of the best assignments around. Way back, I posted about Bangs' series for MSNBC.com, a multimedia project called Great Escapes that took Bangs too Papua New Guinea where he ...

If you haven't had a chance to check out Richard Bangs online program Adventures yet, it's time you do so. I blogged about the program a while back when it was brand-spanking new, but they've since done three full episodes, all of which make for ...

You should take alook at what MSNBC.com has done regading these wonderful travel documentaries called "Great Escapes Digital Village," which feature Richard Bangs, on trips to far off and distant lands. They are really cool and accessible here for ...

I just took another look at the Great Escapes series by MSNBC and have to say I am really impressed. I really hope they will do more of these.   MSNBC.com has done four installments of these travel documentaries called "Great ...

Having just returned from my own Balkan Odyssey, I was very pleased to discover another traveler who has also recently spent time in the region and has put together a wonderful webpage over at Yahoo Adventures. Richard Bangs (this has got to be a ...

The Chicago Suburb of Glenview is home to a brand new concept called "Make-A-Messterpiece". The idea behind this fun attraction is to allow kids to get as messy as they can/want. Kids can create bubble paint art, decorate their own flower pot, bang ...

I love the haunting and historic air of this picture. Shot by user Styggiti, it is a photo of Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, France. It looks like something out of a story book and also reminds me of the Bavarian castle in the movie Chitty Chitty ...

I have to say, this is really quite a bummer. It looks like after just a single year from launch, that Yahoo is canceling Richard Bangs Adventures, a great online video travelogue that we blogged about a few times here. They said that the program, ...

OK, so I have to finish up from my last post about the Budget Travel blogger roundtable I participated in last week at the Tribeca Cinemas here in New York City. So, yes, it was all very interesting and informative and I was able to chat with lots of ...

The inimitable Richard Bangs, whose recent series of dispatches for MSNBC I blogged about here, (and who more or less has the best job in travel journalism), has committed to bits (as opposed to paper) the ten greatest travel adventures ...

Good old Richard Bangs. He's been doing some good stuff for MSNBC lately. A whle back, you might remember, he filed dispatches and did a very sweet multimedia package called Great Escapes in which he traveled to New Guinea. Now, on a far ...

Probably the funniest Youtube video I've seen in a while. In "Osaka Bang!" (not what it sounds like, I promise), the show's host walks around the streets of Osaka, Japan, while pointing his finger at people as if it's a gun and saying "Bang!" We're ...

I know this comes from out of nowhere, but I was thinking this morning about Mungo Park. Not the little-known explorer who was the main character of one of my favorite T Coraghessan Boyle books…but the adventure travel Web site that was ...

Virgin America kicked off their service to Boston with a bang last week, in an evening filled with excitement, celebrities and as usual, more than a few delicious beverages. Gadling bloggers were on hand to capture the event that started at Logan ...

A few years ago I produced a television piece about the Explorer's Club and got to know its president, Richard Wiese. Richard is a very cool guy, some would say too cool, and his uber-handsome looks and surfer-dude demeanor rankled a lot of folks at ...
